Blurb<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n

I have a fantastic family, great best friends, a job I love\u2026and now I\u2019m up for a promotion to police sergeant. I need total focus\u2014not a flirty, dirty, irresistible, tattooed hottie riding into my town on his motorcycle. Can I arrest him for being too good-looking? When he kisses me senseless in the back of a waffle truck, it\u2019s criminal, the things he makes me think about hot syrup and melted butter. One order of hot, fluffy hookup to go, please.<\/p>\n

But the next time I see him, it\u2019s not for our date with benefits. He\u2019s the guy who just rented the room above my garage.<\/p>\n

I need the rent to pay my bills, not a man like Derek, who I soon discover to be strong, caring, generous, good with kids, and kind to puppies\u2026 If I\u2019m not careful, he\u2019ll be moving into my heart as well as my house.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

A no-strings-attached fling with the fiery redhead who revs my engine? Why, yes, that does sound like a delicious perk of my new job in this new town, thank you very much. I\u2019m coming off a bad relationship, and I have zero interest in anything serious. I\u2019ve got all the serious I need helping my sister take care of her three little kids while her husband is deployed.<\/p>\n

Except, surprise! Perri isn\u2019t just my future fling. Turns out she\u2019s my sexy, sassy landlord.<\/p>\n

A lease definitely counts as \u201cstrings attached,\u201d and as much as I\u2019d like to get tangled in her sheets, I can\u2019t let myself get tangled up in a relationship.<\/p>\n

But as soon as we put the cuffs on our escapades, I learn over late-night conversations in the kitchen, that my landlord is so much more than the sexiest woman I\u2019ve ever met\u2013 she has a quick mind and the biggest heart.<\/p>\n

Once I\u2019m in, I\u2019m all in. And to convince her that we should see where this goes, I plan on turning up the heat\u2014and not just in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

5 \u201cMr. Speedy and Miss Demeanor\u201d stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Feel Good Factor<\/i> is a clever, entertaining romantic comedy that will make you laugh out loud, turn you on, give you the warm fuzzies, and make you fall in love. Unputdownable fun and a feel good read, I couldn\u2019t get enough of Derek and Perri.<\/p>\n

Derek moves to town to escape his past and help his sister with her three boys. He is not expecting to get pulled over by the hottest cop he\u2019s ever seen and he definitely wasn\u2019t expecting to be her new housemate. Sparks fly when they are together but both have their own reasons for keeping it casual. Too bad Perri and Derek are just too good together for only a fling and when feelings explode, everything changes.<\/p>\n

This man is going to ruin me in the best possible way.
\nWhile I don\u2019t have the time or inclination for dating, dinners, or fitting someone into my very busy schedule, I\u2019m pretty sure I could deal with a little ruination.
\nYes, I could definitely do with getting ruined.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lauren Blakely knows how to write rom coms that are sweet and spicy with a whole lot of humor and heart. From the sexual tension and amazing chemistry to the dirty talk and steamy sex, this book packs some serious heat. Add in fun and feels and you have a winner.<\/p>\n

Derek and Perri are wonderful characters that I immediately adored. Derek is a sexy, flirty, dirty talker bad boy with a heart of gold. He is a wonderful brother and uncle and will do anything for family. Perri is witty and smart and has a fantastic personality. She\u2019s fun to be around and sweet as can be and everybody loves her.<\/p>\n

The moment Derek gets pulled over the attraction between him and Perri is instant and undeniable.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s get one thing straight,\u201d he growls. \u201cWhat this is? It\u2019s not attraction. It\u2019s stronger. More intense. It\u2019s red-hot fucking desire. It\u2019s raw and it\u2019s carnal, and it\u2019s so much dirtier than attraction.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They try to keep it \u201ckissing only\u201d since anything more would complicate their relationship; however, the constant restraint proves difficult especially when both are trying to make the other break. Every kiss causes the pent up sexual tension to skyrocket. It is well written, palpable, and so dang hot.<\/p>\n

\u201cUp there, the games are over. No more resistance\u2014no more toying. We give in to this.\u201d I gesture from her to me. \u201cWe give in to what\u2019s been happening from the second you pulled me over. I haven\u2019t once stopped wanting you. I want you more every day. You\u2019re under my skin and in my head, and right now, I need to fuck you. And you need to fuck me.\u201d
\nHer breath hitches. \u201cIs that what I need?\u201d
\n\u201cOnly you know. But you sure look like you want to get on my cock and ride me.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Derek and Perri complement each other perfectly, and I am not sure there was ever a chance in hell that they wouldn\u2019t find their way from casual to more when they finally get to know each other. They are functional, honest, and fairly drama free. With fantastic banter and an easy friendship, they are natural together and so sweet.<\/p>\n

The secondary characters are so much fun and I cant wait for more.\u00a0Perri’s brother, Shaw, and her best friend, Vanessa’s story,\u00a0Nobody does it\u00a0Better,<\/em>\u00a0releases April 2019.<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

~DEREK~<\/p>\n

Today is my lucky day.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to thank my sister for getting my ass out of bed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to thank my niece for telling me the nice lady with the paints had just made her way down the veggie aisle.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019d like to thank fate that this avocado stand is in an out-of-the-way corner of the market, and that the farmer running it must have had to take one hell of a leak.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just us.<\/p>\n

This woman is fiery, flirty, and already driving me out of my mind. The stream of market-goers has thinned to a crawl as we near closing time, and left us in a cocoon of raw lust.<\/p>\n

I place the fruit on the red-and-white-checkered tablecloth, brush my fingers over her hip, and tug her against me. She lets out the sexiest little sound. \u201cTell me your name. I\u2019m dying to know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do you need it so badly?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I know what name to say when I\u2019m fantasizing.\u201d<\/p>\n

A murmur crosses her lips, and she leans her head back against me, her hair spilling down my chest. \u201cAre you fantasizing about me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery. Single. Night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must be having a log of long nights, Mr. Trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLong, hard nights\u2026Miss Demeanor,\u201d I say with a smirk, trying that nickname on for size.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell played.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you. It just came to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She glances back at me, her green eyes looking rife with dirty thoughts. \u201cDo you want to\u00a0come<\/i>\u00a0down to the station with me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want your name, beautiful. Give me your name,\u201d I growl into her ear, commanding her.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerri,\u201d she says breathlessly, her voice betraying her longing. A longing that matches mine.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerri,\u201d I repeat, tasting her name on my tongue.<\/p>\n

Her voice tightens to a warning and sharpens as she speaks. \u201cDon\u2019t say it.\u201d<\/p>\n

I narrow my brow in question. \u201cSay what?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t say it\u2019s a guy\u2019s name.\u201d<\/p>\n

I laugh lightly in her ear, jerking her ass closer to my hard-on. \u201cDo you honestly believe I\u2019m thinking for one second about guys right now?\u201d<\/p>\n

She lets out a gasp, chased by a soft moan. \u201cI don\u2019t know. What exactly are you thinking about?\u201d<\/p>\n

I drag my scruff against her neck. \u201cHow close I am to getting a ticket for indecent everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

She wriggles her sexy rear against me. \u201cI\u2019d say everything feel way more than decent.\u201d<\/p>\n

I groan as a dart of lust shoots down my spine. I\u2019d like to find a way to kiss the breath out of her right here, right now.<\/p>\n

She tenses against me, her body straightening like a ruler, and my gaze flicks to the new crowd of people streaming around the corner, heading toward us.<\/p>\n

Fuck me.<\/p>\n
